"Children's books are an excellent means of 'travel'. With some good writing and an active imagination, you can go quite a lot of places without getting up off the couch. But did you know that many of the fabulous children's books out there were inspired by and written about real places? From Harry Potter to Beatrix Potter, authors have been drawing their inspiration from real life for a long time."

Make a voki of your Cinderella story. The example above is about a book called Cinder. (It's not a picture book, but it is a Cinderella variation).
You may use your Google doc summary (ask for a copy).
Write your script and use an online timer to get the correct length.
You will record your own voice.
Recordings can only be one minute long.
See Mrs. Shinn when you are ready to record.
1. Read the homepage of November is Picture Book Month. Read what one author says about picture books-we will use your reading in a later assignment. 2. Look at the stories written by former library assistants.
FreemiumSTORYBIRD complements the writing process by providing themed artwork which helps develop ideas into story lines. The collections of artwork are similar to those you would find in a children's book or Hallmark card, and are searchable under different tags (i.e. bandana, pumpkin, circus, baby). To start a Storybird, you only need to select a specific artwork collection and drag-and-drop different images onto PowerPoint-like templates that also leaves space for adding text. In fact, the entire Storybird creation process is a bit like creating a PowerPoint presentation. Only every slide requires an image and text, and all the images are connected through a common theme. Oh, and there's also the super-simple signup for teachers and students. https://www.edsurge.com/n/2013-05-06-best-of-school-tools-q1-2013
